How it measures
"A nine-digit ‘telephone number’ was presented on the screen for 5 s which participants were instructed to hold in their memory. After a delay of 10 s, participants had to input the number using the numerical numbers at the top of the computer keyboard. Participants scored correctly only if the entire nine-digit number was entered exactly as the number that was presented. There were eight trials in total." [1]
